Personally I've never seen love win um, ever. Even our stories are about how tragic it is that people truelove each other but it cannot be. The only power love seems to have is making people think it's the most powerful.
But I'm more thinking about how love remains pure and pristine (and useless) because we don't combine it with greed, ambition, and hatred. You can have all your greed related needs met through markets, freeing you to have a greedless, giving, selfless, etc love for Jesus, which feels great! Except when you're at work.
But without markets, you can't love like that, since you can't take care of yourself if you do. So valuing love means you value markets, and won't abolish them.
Like we used to have arranged marriages. Why'd that stop? Those were great! (Hint: well funded propaganda.)
